Welcome June!

Hello! Happy first day of June! I hope you all are doing well. In the last month and a half we have finished up with Boy Scouts, Faith Keepers, Spanish and Creative Writing classes. We are having temperatures in the high 90's, so summer is definitely here!

We had friends and family over for Memorial day. In the morning I went to the grocery store for a few things and found these beautiful peonies. They were completely closed, but within a few hours had bloomed.

Phillip got a new grill for his birthday/early Father's Day, so he grilled burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. I made potato salad, macaroni salad, and we also had artichoke dip, chips and humus, and watermelon.

For dessert, we had strawberry and blueberry shortcake and I also made these fun jello cups for the kids.

I just love your blog. In my area, it is overcast and stormy looking. What great pictures to remind me that Summer is here! Yay! Hope you enjoyed your break--it sounds like you were pretty busy. Welcome back! :)

Great post, and I'm so glad you are back! (I'm the fellow North Texan who emailed you not long ago.) I always enjoy reading your blog and seeing photos of your creations. It sounds like you had a nice holiday weekend!

Welcome back, Kelli!! Glad you had a blessed holiday! And I know how good it feels to finish up some things! We are schooling through the summer, though, since my appendectomy and Drs. appts. have skewed our schedule! No biggy...we almost prefer it!

Hi KelliIt's so good to have you back! I have missed you and pictures of your yummy food and beautiful home.I hope your blogging batteries are recharged and I look forward to some nice summer stories while we are 'chilling' down under in Australia (1st of June was the start of our winter).

What a sweet surprise to see that you are back to blogging! Your beautiful posts have been missed! I am glad you had such a wonderful holiday weekend. School is finishing up for us this week and we are off for vacation to Florida! Welcome summer!

Yay!! Glad you had a nice "break", but I am so glad you are back! I thought about you as I was getting my patriotic decorations ready for Memorial Day, Flag Day, and OF COURSE, Fourth of July. Welcome Back!!

Hi, you're back !!!!I love the flowers. I've got a bush in my front garden, but the buds are still closed. There are buds in that bush for the first time since I planted it. I can hardly wait for it to bloom.The food looks fantastic. Happy birthday to your husband !!!

Welcome! My name is Kelli and I am originally from Ontario, Canada but now enjoy living in Texas with my three teenagers. Grace is 18, Emily is 17, and Benjamin is 15.
I'm a work-at-home mom and in my spare time I love to decorate, antique store treasure hunt, bake, and celebrate the four seasons.
Please join me as I share photos and stories, along with some recipes and favorite things thrown in for good measure!
